On the way at last.
Well here we are. Waking up in a hotel in Frome - we all got here eventually and it is Tech 2 - day one.
Yesterday was fun in it’s own way. My daughter’s 7th birthday was being celebrated as I am away for the actual day on Monday. We opened presents (she got her first bicycle) before JJ and Richard arrived with Howard Payne.
They must have wondered why my 5 year old Archie was so scared. May of had something to do with my teenager whispering ‘Hey Archie, these men are power rangers’
Nigel is learning to dive and was being teased by Howard about the PADI RDP on the kitchen table. Nigel asked Jarrod how much deco he had done, to which the answer was about 20 hours after an 8 hour dive at 90 meters. To think I get bored after 45 minutes.
Andy Kerslake turned up and we set off to Frome - to meet Al, Frase, JK, David and Brian. Brian, it turned out was running 3 hours late and there were many jokes about putting the sculpture of a horses head in his bed!
Dinner in Frome followed by form filling and general introductory lecture from Jarrod then, avoiding the Kareoke session in the bar, a drink and bed.
So, full circle, back to where I started. Al’s alarm will go off in 2 minutes so time to start.
